Additional Information
General
I have been through the Bookworm install, here, on the Debian wiki. I also tried both with and without this backports thingumy, mentioned in this reddit thread. I had also tried with and without running apt purge nvidia-* before doing anything.
I can't remember the exact errors on boot, but, again ... I am not *specifically* trying to fix those. I just need a guide to get the proprietary drivers installed on this system.
Still, if you wish to know what they are ... I don't have a clue how to access the logs on this system, as they don't appear in the logs folder ... but to memory, it's just a generic 'something failed' error with red letters. I do seem to remember finding something around nvidia-persistenced.service ... but that could be a red-herring, dunno.
Again, though ... any immediate focus just on this will be ignored ... I am happy to purge and start again.
Everything else is up to date in general.
If I think of anything more I will either update this prior to any responses, or update this and indicate with a response.
System Information
I'm running a Gnome3 Wayland desktop and that will not be changing.
